The project is greatly affected by user accessibility and experience merging with the Nile River which is a landmark in Egypt, which aims to go beyond simple structure and envisions a dynamic environment that promotes inclusivity, learning, and collaboration, the building from the approach extending to the vision axis line to Nile River view.

Technical information

The building's structural system, which incorporates steel trusses into the building's framework, offers strong roof support, enabling the construction of expansive areas devoid of columns and wide spans, all the while guaranteeing weather resistance and longevity. In order to optimize views of the Nile River and to take advantage of natural light and ventilation, the building's elevation treatment on the north and east faces incorporates sizable, transparent curtain glass panels that provide a panoramic view and encourage a sense of connection with the surrounding environment.
